A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the FloStent in Men With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Symptoms (RAPID-III)

April 23, 2025 updated by: Rivermark Medical

A Prospective, Multicenter, Double Blind, Randomized, Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of The FloStent in Men Suffering From Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Symptoms

The goal of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of the FloStent, a medical device used to treat men with symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, compared to sham (procedure without deployment of the FloStent). All participants will undergo a flexible cystoscopy and those randomized to the treatment arm will receive the FloStent, while those randomized to the sham arm will not receive the FloStent.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS)
Time Frame: 12 months

The International Prostate Symptom Score IPSS is a self-questionnaire (patient reported outcome). It contains 7 questions about symptoms related to BPH and 1 question about the patient's perceived quality of life (QoL).

The 7 questions are scored from 0 to 5. The sum of the 7 items gives the International Prostate Symptom Score in terms of severity (out of 35):

0-7 mildly symptomatic 8-19 moderately symptomatic 20-35 severely symptomatic

12 months
